Job Update
So I have started working my second job at TopDoc America and I am not going to lie I hate it right now. I am a glorified telemarketer. OK, so Top Doc has some great websites where you can go and type in your zip code, what kind of Dr. you are looking for (everything from oral surgeon to allergist), their specialty and what kind of insurance you have. Then a list of highly rated Doctors comes up and you can see little videos they have and get to know them. Great product right? My job is to call Drs. and Dentists in Boston and see if they want to be a part of this and film a little segment that airs during the Dr. Oz Show. This is all for free. We call them because they have been selected as a Top Doctor or Dentist of their area.
The icky part is that SO many people (understandably so) assume I am trying to sell them something and just get very cold very fast. It is just so frustrating! I wish they would just let me get through my speech or something. I did set two appointments yesterday which was cool, but honestly, I just get a weird vibe from the place. I am not sure what it is, maybe it is the fact that the guy who sits next to me clearly has a crush on me and is a little creepy, maybe it is the fact that there are 5 people there who say "axe" instead of "ask" (I HATE THAT), or maybe something else. I am giving it until Friday before I make a final decision, so I can at least say I gave it a try. My mom says I should follow my instincts about this. I have to give a weeks notice, so I am not sure if I should look for a new job and when i find one tell them I can start in a week or just quit now and go back to looking. One of the issues with this economy is that there are still so many unemployed people that if I can;t start tomorrow there is someone else who can.
I took this second job because it offered 15 and hour plus commission. I am not sure if the money is enough to get me though how unhappy I feel. I just feel like I failed again. I know that this happens, sometimes jobs just aren't a right fit, but it just sucks.
